I am over run by breeding stink bugs, what can i spray with to keep them from ruining my tomatoes.
they don't like water spray but they just come back

Plant some squash, I have an never ending battle with them on mine, but they seem to leave my tomatoes alone. I spray them with insecticidal soap which seems to work if you get it directly on them.

I never plant squash, but do have plenty of cukes, they hit the maters just as they start turning and sting them to th point that they are worthless.

Just had a friend tell me to use dawn dishwashing soap 1tsp/ gal on them.

will try that tommorrow
